Douluo Continent, outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Luo Ye, what was that white light just now? Are you all right? Were you hurt?"

Zhu Zhuqing crouched down and studied the boy before her. Her sleek black hair draped over her shoulders, and a trace of concern appeared on her cold, beautiful face.

Seeing Luo Ye sitting blankly on the ground without responding for so long, Zhu Zhuqing could not help but worry. Just as she was about to say something else, Luo Ye suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"That's great!"

Zhu Zhuqing jumped in surprise. Just as she was about to push Luo Ye away, she heard the excitement in his voice and asked instinctively.

"What's so great?"

Before Luo Ye could answer, Zhu Zhuqing quickly slipped out of his embrace and looked at him with mild reproach.

Zhu Zhuqing had never had such intimate contact with a man in all her life. Even if Luo Ye had saved her before, he could not just do that.

Luo Ye also realized he had lost his composure and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, I got a little too excited just now."

Zhu Zhuqing puffed out her cheeks to show her displeasure, but she did not continue blaming him. Instead, she asked curiously, "What exactly happened? What was that white light that entered your body just now?"

They had come to the Star Dou Great Forest so Luo Ye could hunt for his third Soul Ring. Yet after they killed a ten-year Wind Baboon, a white light had suddenly rushed over and slammed directly into Luo Ye's body.

From Zhu Zhuqing's observations, the outline of that white light had resembled a huge silkworm. Seeing Luo Ye's reaction now only made her more curious about what it was.

Faced with Zhu Zhuqing's question, Luo Ye's eyes flickered. He grinned and said, "It was a thousand-year soul beast. It sacrificed itself to me, so I already have my third Soul Ring."

A soul beast?

A sacrifice?

There was actually a way to obtain Soul Rings like that?

Zhu Zhuqing's lips parted slightly as she stared at Luo Ye in confusion, momentarily unsure what to say.

Luo Ye had not lied to Zhu Zhuqing. More accurately, he had not entirely lied to her.

A soul beast really had sacrificed itself to Luo Ye just now, but it was not some thousand-year soul beast. It was the million-year soul beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who should originally have appeared ten thousand years later during the era of The Unrivaled Tang Clan.

Luo Ye's original goal had merely been to obtain a thousand-year third Soul Ring, but what he had gained now had far exceeded his expectations.

Looks like I really did replace Huo Yuhao and become the Son of Destiny chosen by the Plane Will. And I'm even a Son of Destiny who has never suffered!

As a transmigrator, Luo Ye's growth over the years could be described as smooth sailing.

Although his parents had long since passed away, the inheritance they left behind, along with the care of his neighbors, had allowed Luo Ye to grow up without worry.

At the age of six, he awakened the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, and he even possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

He had not even needed to deliberately hunt for Soul Rings. On two consecutive occasions, he had found dying soul beasts suitable for him on the outskirts of the Extreme North.

Now, even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had voluntarily sacrificed himself, making Luo Ye even more certain that he had received the Douluo Continent Plane Will's special favor and care.

Most importantly, his cheat had finally been successfully activated.

Ever since he had reincarnated in the Douluo Continent, a diary had existed in Luo Ye's mind, though it had remained grayed out until now.

But after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice, the moment he entered Luo Ye's mind, the diary blazed with light. A powerful suction force swept out, directly absorbing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the Diary System was activated along with it.

However, after seeing the rules displayed in the diary, Luo Ye could not help falling into thought.

The host only needs to write a diary every day to obtain points. Points can be used to purchase items in the shop. Note: Once the host has persisted in writing a diary for a specified period of time—seven days, half a month, one month, and so on—the host will receive achievement rewards. Rewards include, but are not limited to, Soul Power, Soul Rings, Spirit Bones, and more. The longer the host persists in writing a diary, the greater the chance of receiving high-value rewards.

Writing a diary can make me stronger? Why do I feel like it isn't that simple?

As a transmigrator, Luo Ye's experience could be called extremely extensive, especially since he had seen countless bizarre cheat systems in novels.

Even though he had never encountered this sort of cheat that made one stronger by writing a diary, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

With that in mind, Luo Ye silently asked, "System, will the diary I write someday be made public? Or can someone see what I write in it? Or does it have some other special function?"

Please rest assured, Host. Your diary will absolutely never be made public.

"Then someone can see its contents?"

The Host need not worry. Every action taken by the system will be based on the premise that it will not harm the Host.

Luo Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and said without hesitation, "Let's be honest, System. If you don't make it clear, I'd rather give up the rewards than write a diary."

Luo Ye had absolute confidence in his own talent. Since he had already become the Son of Destiny chosen by the Plane Will, his future was destined to be bright.

The system was merely icing on the cake for him. Even without it, nothing could stop him from reaching the pinnacle.

On the other hand, if writing a diary exposed some secrets and brought about negative consequences, that would truly be sacrificing the greater for the lesser.

Sensing Luo Ye's resolve, the system remained silent for a long time before finally choosing to compromise.

Hidden Rule One: Once the Host officially begins writing a diary, a certain number of Diary Instances will be activated and randomly appear in the hands of certain people on the Douluo Continent. (Limited to the opposite sex. The more important they are in the original work, the greater their chance of obtaining a Diary Instance.) Two: When the name of a Diary Instance holder is mentioned in the diary, the Host will receive point rewards. (Settled daily.) Three: If a Diary Instance holder continuously reads the diary's contents for one month, they will receive a random reward. Four: Diary Instance holders may not reveal the existence of the diary to outsiders, nor may they harm the Host. Otherwise, their Diary Instance will be revoked and they will be erased.

Seeing the hidden rules that had appeared in the diary, Luo Ye raised his eyebrows, and an almost imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

You little bastard, you really know how to play.

It had deliberately hidden these rules so that he would write his diary without restraint, allowing those women who received Diary Instances to secretly pry into his secrets.

Luo Ye did not think the system was trying to screw him over.

It was simply that, after carefully reading the hidden rules, he had found a better direction for writing his diary.

The system only required him to persist in writing a diary. It never said he could not write false content. He could completely fabricate things beneficial to himself and manipulate those Diary Instance holders from behind the scenes.

Let them think Luo Ye was on the first floor, when in reality, he was in the stratosphere!

I'm currently writing two books. If you're interested in the other one, you can check it out through the link below, or find it by opening the author's homepage.

It's also set in Douluo 1—an absolute thrill ride where Tang San gets crushed in all sorts of ways.
